We were looking for a new place to try and Octopus had some great reviews/ pictures of their sushi rolls. After looking over the menu we decided to head on down. Friendly staff got us seated right away and we started with a round of appetizers.Gyoza, chicken karaage and a Toro Nigiri special started off the night and everything was delicious.Ordered 4 rolls and a bento box combo and everyone was extremely satisfied with the food.Can't wait to return and explore more of the menu
This is great restaurant, and my new default go-to for sushi. If you like sushi, you should eat here- today. I've lived in the Bay Area since 1993. Sushi Sam's in San Mateo, Sushi Tomi in Mountain View are also great, but if you live in Menlo Park, or Palo Alto, that's a drive. I just discovered Octopus Japanese Restaurant a few weeks ago, and have eaten there twice - it is very good. Plus, the folks who run it and work there are really friendly and patient. They've made a loyal customer of me in short order. Enjoy!
Tuna salad was perfect. Everything they serves here were freshly picked and prepare or cooked perfectly. Great place and service.
Very good sushi. I've always been pleased with the portion size of the rolls. I go here almost 3x a month.Update** Recently went a few days ago. The waiter acknowledged we come frequently and treated us on our 2nd bottle of sake! Very kind!!
We came in on a late Saturday afternoon, not busy at all, staff were friendly and courteous. So many selections especially for the rolls. Ambiance can be improved, restrooms were clean, you can scan a QR code for online menu but they gave us their menu, it was sticky atleast the one I got thise 4 stars.The food arrived fast, and were really good. Miso and salad that came with our Bento Box order were fresh and tasty not bland. Salmon sashimi was super fresh melts in your mouth kind of fresh.Our rolls —The Kraken per recommendation and the Fly boy were both good! Both are sauce-y type of rolls but very good.Most orders here are take-out. We’re definitely going back, we’ve been here in California for 2 years moved during pandemic and so far this is the best sushi place we’ve had. If you’re thinking of giving it a try you should!
They have a vast amount on different kinds of sushi rolls, however what we got was not exciting compared to the cost. Also, so much PLASTIC!!! In our opinion the portions were small and overpriced. For all you see in the pictures we payed $91. We were disappointed and definitely not ordering from this place anymore.

Sushi selection was great and the sushi we tries was good. Would have been 5 stars but they could not serve beer while we were there.
Good service and decent food. Sake selection is okay but the only junmai daiginjo was out of stock. The tempura was good but the prawns seemed mushy.
Wait staff are friendly but not very good - forgot our order, brought the wrong check at the end and so on. No alcohol served because they lost their license
